AI-native startups are rewriting the rules of what early traction looks like — and too often, investors are still playing by the old ones. At TechCrunch All Stage, happening in Boston on July 15, Kleida Martiro, partner at Glasswing Ventures, will lead a breakout that cuts straight to the core of this disconnect.
Her session, Winning Capital in a Competitive Market: How to Fund Your AI-Native Startup, on the Foundation Stage, explores how early-stage AI founders can frame their growth story in a way that resonates with forward-thinking investors — and filter out the ones still stuck in SaaS-era metrics.
And getting the opportunity to learn from her expertise is easier than ever. Our limited-time ticket discounts bring Founder Passes to just $155 and Investor Passes to $250. Act swiftly to learn and network from a community equipped to give you a leg up on the competition.
What founders will take away
Martiro brings the perfect blend of operator and investor experience to the table. Before joining Glasswing, she led machine learning efforts as Head of Data Science at SocialFlow and now serves on multiple AI startup boards. She’s also been named one of Business Insider’s “41 Most Important VCs in Boston” and a VentureBeat “Women in AI Rising Star.”
Expect a tactical conversation on aligning your vision, funding needs, and long-term opportunity with the capital partners who actually get what you’re building. If you’re building AI from the ground up, this is the room to be in. You’ll have plenty of time during the session to ask your burning questions about launching and scaling an AI startup.
Get your pass to TechCrunch All Stage before prices rise at the door, and while you can still get that 60% discount on both our Investor and Founder Passes.
